(It's Ms. Bayer: Was he really famous by the time he was 14? I'd check that statement.)

in his architectural drawings he demonstrates mastery in the use of massive forms, a clarity of expression, and a deep understanding of ancient roman resources. This sounds like you copied it straight from the text - can you paraphrase, or put it in your own words?

Leonardo Da Vinci also sketched his own city. this city was called the ideal city. The ideal city was in honor of francesco sforza. The ideal city was the first city that was ever planned out. The city also showed that people were starting to embraced humanism because it showed that he cared how people lived and he built the city based on the way people move about in their daily lives. Even though his city was never built Leonardo's sketches could be used as foundation to build a actual city.
